Various treasures have started popping around in Sullen Woods.
Stolen rings of the wives of Vallaki, gems of a merchant, necklaces of rich ladies. Nobody knows who has stolen them, and why somebody would leave them.
But if observed from a religious viewpoint, a priest or a well informed person would immediately realize that these are offerings, placed in circles around the Shadows ritualistically.

Throughout the night, occasional screams of agony echoed through the Sullen Woods... No Barovian was insane enough to leave his home to investigate, and by the sound of it, the screams came from far within the dreaded place, where creatures of darkness linger.
At some point in the middle of the night, the screams stopped. The silence was deafening in its own right.
Although humanoid shades often traverse the sullen woods, the ghostly shade of a woman now travels throughout, as if searching for something or someone. Muted dark tones cover her, and shadows seem to ink away from her form.

A woman with black coat on an armor had been walking alone in Sullen Woods. She - her face covered with the black hood - might have seen carrying two scabbards while walking. Left arm of the coat was looking like it's empty as if she is missing the arm. On the path she walked, she left a body behind that a stake pierced the chest and pinned it to the ground.
